I'm interested in the Belk Scholarship at Davidson College. Does anyone know when the application process starts and if there are any specific eligibility criteria or deadlines I should keep in mind?
The Belk Scholarship at Davidson College is a prestigious scholarship for high school seniors that covers tuition, room, board, and mandatory fees, and provides a stipend of $6000 each for international study and other experiences. The scholarship seeks to attract student leaders with demonstrated intellectual curiosity and academic ability, who intend to be agents of change.
Davidson College starts accepting nominations for the Belk Scholarship from high school guidance counselors or independent college counselors on August 15th of each year, with a nomination deadline of November 15th. Following the nominations, invited semi-finalist candidates will be asked to complete a scholarship application and finalists are then selected for on-campus interviews in the spring.
As far as eligibility goes, all students, domestic and international, who are applying to Davidson College for an undergraduate degree are eligible for this scholarship. However, the main criterion is that these students must be nominated by their high school or independent counselor.
Remember, selection is not just based on student's academic abilities, but also their commitment to service, leadership experiences, and personal integrity. So, focus on demonstrating those qualities when discussing your high school career with your nominator and on your application.
